2016 MINI Countryman Cooper 1.6L Other · D4 APD

The 2016 MINI Countryman Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 January 2026 at 41,556 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Mileage sits low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 26,124 miles in September 2022, rising to 31,191 by November 2023, then 36,159 in January 2025 and 41,556 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 4,150 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps between tests. The sparse but consistent four-entry history shows no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at any stage. A clean MOT trail does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Low annual use mixed with standing periods can allow moisture ingress and hidden corrosion on sills, subframes, and brake calipers even when the tester logged nothing. The buyer should confirm tyre sidewall condition, check for binding calipers from disuse, and inspect underside structural integrity before purchase. Given the absence of recorded faults, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory test compliance. The buyer should still commission an independent pre-purchase examination to verify real-world mechanical condition beyond the DVSA snapshot.
